Party hog roast for Coldharbour
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Coldharbour stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Coldharbour: your questions answered
Could you cook in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Coldharbour has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do you come to Coldharbour?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
